Bayern Munich have plenty of work to do as they welcome Lazio to Germany for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League round of 16 tie, facing a one-goal deficit after losing 1-0 in the first leg in Rome. The Italian side, who were beaten by Bayern at the same stage four seasons ago, took an advantage in the tie thanks to Ciro Immobile’s 69th-minute penalty at the Stadio Olimpico on February 14. The spot kick was awarded for Dayot Upamecano’s foul on Gustav Isaksen, an incident that led to the Bayern defender being shown a red card. Here’s what you need to know.

Prediction
Lazio have a chance to go through the round of 16 because Bayern are in a deep crisis and have only won once in the last five games in all competitions. Thomas Tuchel’s job, if the German giants don’t win against Lazio, will be in danger despite the fact he already announced his departure at the end of the current season. Pick: Bayern 1, Lazio 1.
